The gold bordure symbolizes the royalty of Christ, his noble lineage belonging to the house of David. The blue field symbolizes the royal and divine lineage of Christ. It also represents the blue of infinity on clear (cloudless) days and thus symbolizes the infinity of Christ. | |||
The silver bend symbolizes the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world: the lamb slain without blemish and without blemish. The red fleur-de-lis at the heart of the coat of arms symbolizes the Diocese of Patos de Minas immersed in the blood of the Immolated Lamb. Thus, the Diocese is inscribed in the Mystery of Christ and is called to be the center and spreader of the Paschal Mystery. | |||
The wooden cross of Christ, from which three white lilies sprout represents the woods and also symbolizes the color of the Franciscan habit of the patron saint of the Diocese, Saint Anthony. The three lilies represent the trinity and is also the symbol of the patron saint. The lilies are in silver, color of simplicity and purity. | |||
The twenty-four silver fleurs-de-lis on the azure plan represent the cities that make up the Diocese. | |||
The cloak in azure with white ermine leather background symbolizes the protective mantle of the Virgin Mary, which maternally envelops the entire coat of arms. It is the mantle of the fruitful Virgin. Its azure color also recalls the mantle with which the Patroness of Brazil is adorned. The mantle is bordered by a golden fringe, remembering the woman clothed with the sun, mentioned by the author of the Apocalypse, and in this way, it also represents the Church. The children or faithful of the Diocese are represented by the seven fleurs-de-lis encrusted in the mantle at the base of the Episcopal Miter, they are in gold, that is, in this way the faithful are invited to be “jewels” molded and cultivated by Mary and offered to God. | |||
